Henry Thomas — Texas Worried Blues lyrics

Lyrics

I’ve got the worried blues, Lord I’m feeling bad
I’ve got the worried blues, Lord I’m feeling bad
I’ve got the worried blues, Lord I’m feeling bad
I’ve got no one, tell my troubles to
I’ve got no one, tell my troubles to
I’ve got no one, tell my troubles to You can box me up and send me to my ma You can box me up and send me to my ma You can box me up and send me to my ma If my ma don’t want me, send me to my pa If my ma don’t want me, send me to my pa If my ma don’t want me, send me to my pa If my pa don’t want me, send me to my girl
If my pa don’t want me, send me to my girl
If my pa don’t want me, send me to my girl
If my girl don’t want me, cast me in the sea
If my girl don’t want me, cast me in the sea
If my girl don’t want me, cast me in the sea
So the fish and the whales, make a fuss all over me So the fish and the whales, make a fuss all over me So the fish and the whales, make a fuss all over me
I’m going to build me, a heaven of my own
I’m going to build me, a heaven of my own
I’m going to build me, a heaven of my own
I’m going to give, all good‑time women a home
I’m going to give, all good‑time women a home
I’m going to give, all good‑time women a home
Get your hat and your coat, get shaking it all down the line
Get your hat and your coat, get shaking it all down the line
Get your hat and your coat, get shaking it all down the line
Now fare thee my honey, fare thee
Now fare thee my honey, fare thee
Now fare thee my honey, fare thee
